For users who are color blind, colored buttons and tabs used in the HP software and on the printer control panel have simple text or icon labels that convey the appropriate action.

Mobility

For users with mobility impairments, the HP software functions can be executed through keyboard commands. The HP software also supports Microsoft® Windows® accessibility options such as StickyKeys, ToggleKeys, FilterKeys, and MouseKeys. The printer doors, buttons, input tray, and paper guides can be operated by users with limited strength and reach.

HP EcoSolutions (HP and the Environment)

Hewlett-Packard is committed to helping you optimize your environmental footprint and empowering you to print responsibly—at home or in the office.

For more detailed information about environmental guidelines, HP follows during the manufacturing process, see Environmental product stewardship program. For more information about HP's environmental initiatives, visit www.hp.com/ecosolutions.

Manage power

To conserve electricity and extend the length of time you can use the printer, the printer comes with the following features:

•Sleep mode

Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. To configure sleep mode settings, touch Power Meter on the printer's control panel display, touch Settings, touch Sleep Mode, and then touch the desired option. After the printer has been inactive for this period of time, the printer will go into a low-power mode.

•Auto-Off

When Auto Power-Off is enabled, the printer will automatically turn off when the printer has been inactive for the configured period of time. To configure Auto Power-Off settings, touch Power Meter on the printer's control panel display, touch Settings, touch Auto-Off, and then touch the desired option.

In addition, try the following:

•Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. To turn off Bluetooth, touch Bluetooth on the printer's control panel display, and then touch Turn Off.

•To maximize battery life and capacity, be sure to charge, use, and store the battery in places that meet the recommended temperature guidelines. For more information about using the battery, see Install and use the battery.

Optimize printing supplies

To optimize printing supplies such as ink and paper, try the following:

•Recycle used original HP ink cartridges through HP Planet Partners. For more information, visit www.hp.com/recycle.

•Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper. If the printer has an HP automatic two-sided printing accessory (duplexer), see Print on both sides (duplexing). Otherwise, you can first print just the odd pages, flip the pages over, and then print just the even pages.

•Save ink and paper when printing web content with HP Smart Print. For more information, visit www.hp.com/go/smartprint.

•Change the print mode to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.

•Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

Tips for selecting and using media

For the best results, observe the following guidelines.

•Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, see Media specifications.

•Load only one type of media at a time into the input tray.

•When loading the input tray or scanner, make sure the media is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load media or Load an original in the scanner.

•Do not overload the input tray or scanner. For more information, see Media specifications.

•To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid loading the following media in the input tray or scanner:

◦Multipart forms

◦Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled

Install and use the battery

The printer comes with a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. It is also available for purchase as an optional accessory. For more information, see HP supplies and accessories.

This section contains the following topics:

•Battery safety

•Understand the battery

•Charge and use the battery

Battery safety

•Use only the battery designed specifically for the printer. For more information, see HP supplies and accessories and Printer specifications.

•When discarding a battery, contact your local waste disposal provider regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries. Though the lithium-ion rechargeable battery is mercury-free, it might require recycling or proper disposal at end-of-life. For more information, see Recycling program.

•The battery might explode if incorrectly replaced or disposed of in fire. Do not short-circuit the battery.

•To purchase a replacement battery, contact your local dealer or HP sales office. For more information, see HP supplies and accessories.

•To avoid risk of fire, burns, or damage to the battery, do not allow a metal object to touch the battery contacts.

•Do not disassemble the battery. The battery has no serviceable parts inside.

•Handle a damaged or leaking battery with extreme care. If you come in contact with the electrolyte, wash the exposed area with soap and water. If it contacts the eye, flush the eye with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

•Do not charge, store, or use the battery in places where the temperature exceeds the limits specified in Operating environment.

Important notes

Take note of the following when charging or using the battery:

•Charge the battery for 4 hours before using the battery for the first time. For subsequent charges, it takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery.

•The battery charge light is amber when the battery is charging. If it is red, the battery might be faulty and need to be replaced.

•To see battery status, touch Power Meter on the control-panel display. The battery status is also displayed in Toolbox (Windows) and HP Utility (Mac OS X). If you are using a Microsoft Windows Mobile® device, you can use the Toolbox software for PDAs. For more information, see Printer management tools.

24 Get started

•If the battery is running low, either plug in the AC adapter to charge it or replace the battery with one that is charged.

•A fully charged battery can print up to approximately 500 pages, scan up to approximately 140 pages, or copy approximately 100 pages, depending on the complexity of the jobs.

•By default, the printer goes into Sleep mode to conserve the battery if left idle for 5 minutes on battery power. You can configure this feature from the printer control panel.

•Prior to long-term storage, fully charge the battery. Do not leave the battery in a discharged (empty) state for more than 6 months.

•To maximize battery life and capacity, charge, store, and use the battery in places that meet the guidelines specified in Operating environment.

Understand the battery

Charge and use the battery

WARNING! Charge the battery for 4 hours before using the battery for the first time. Because the battery is normally warm while it is charging, do not charge it in a briefcase or other confined space as this might cause the battery to overheat.

NOTE: The AC adapter is normally warm to the touch when plugged into an AC outlet.

NOTE: Bluetooth printing uses more battery power than wired printing. For information on checking the battery charge level, see Install and use the battery.

To install the battery
